One Acai Bowl Recipe, Infinite Possibilties

As soon as summer hits, I feel a serious need to be at the beach as much as possible. And if I can't actually be at the beach, I find all kinds of ways to bring the beach to me — even if I'm stuck inside in the middle of the city. Bringing those tropical vibes to the mainland can mean anything from breezy floral mini dresses to refreshing fruit cocktails, backyard barbecues, and so much more. But the best way to fake it 'til you make it is with something ultra sensory. Enter: DIY acai bowls.

Acai bowls originated in Brazil but have made their way stateside for obvious reasons. Super tasty, healthy, refreshing, and full of antioxidants, acai bowls make the ultimate breakfast. Plus, the topping options are virtually endless. Fresh summer fruit, your favorite type of granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, almond butter, honey, and nuts all make excellent choices, and work in pretty much any combination. In partnership with Havaianas, I'm going to show you just how easy it is to DIY your own acai bowls at home. Your favorite summer breakfast (and snack, and lunch, and maybe dinner?) awaits.
